That concept has been around for quite a while, since 2002. It's powered by a 6.0 liter V12, and draws heavily from the styling of the early 60's Continentals'. Which is a high point of Lincoln history.
It hints at the refreshed design direction new Lincolns' will be heading in not too many years from now. I think it needs plenty of work, but I really do like the early 60's inspiration. I hope they run with it.

oh rite thanx.
on the website it says 4 litre v8 but i believe u more than an unnoficial site.
can u tell me how you get the pic 2 come up rather that it making a hyperlink 4 gettin a picture, thanx
first off, that's not an official website. The Lincoln LS is powered by a 4.0L V8, but everything i've read about the much larger and heavier continental says it will be ford's flagship, powered by a variant of the cosworth V12 that Aston Martin Uses, which is 6.0L.
It is a pretty amazing car though. I hope it happens.

I think the front part of the car is hideous. V12 sounds nice but i'm sure its gonna be V8.
And is that a turd pokin out its ass or wat?
If u didn't catch that it was sarcasm but wtf is that protrudin out its ass?

the trunk extends out. I think styling will be pretty nice for thing, i've seen concepts of it that looked amazing. This thing is slated to weigh in at 5,000lbs, so a V8 would be entry level for a car that is slated to bring ford's luxury image back to par. There are a few possibilities. A 427 cu. in. V10 was made for the ford 427, which is suspected to be riding on the same chasis made for continental. The 4.0L Jaguar sourced V8 they use on LS is possible, though pretty weak, and then the cosworth V12.
Look at it this way, they did the GT, and we all doubted that, whose to say they won't do this too?

it looks like to me that lincoln are trying to compete with rolls royce and bentley.
or maybe even the maybach and from looking at the interior it looks like they may have done it, does anyone agree or disagree?
I don't think Maybach is even intended as a real profit maker, but more of an image thing. I doubt Lincoln is aiming for the Rolls and Bentley crowd, but if it peaked their interest, I'm sure Lincoln would like that.
One thing is for sure, Lincoln wants to come up in the world, to be more than just a line of luxury " Fords ". I think they're on the right track with focusing attention to quality, feel, and jewel like details. Thats a big part of what ultimate luxury is about.
Ford never gave anyone much of a chance to doubt whether they would build the GT or not, they just came out and said " we're gonna build it! " To overhaul one's image takes guts, and a V12 Lincoln is in keeping with that line of thinking, so I think a V12 is quite probable. Especially since the engine is already there for use.
